Kind of interesting drone music. Doesn't really click with me but I can't put my finger on why.
Ritchie Blackmore's guitar work is truly mind-blowing. Dio is one of the greatest rock vocalists of all time. This album shows Rainbow at their best.
This album is really of it's time. If I was ripping a joint of shitty brickweed in the 70s I'd be grooving.
A mixed bag. Very atmospheric but sometimes the tracks don't develop enough. When it's great it is great but that isn't all of the time.
All these low ratings are crazy, this music definitely reached the wrong audience somehow. Experiemental hardcore/rap crossover with a little fucking around, I found it pretty enjoyable.
Although I wasn't initually captivated, the album does seem to get better as it goes on. That guitar solo in Believer gives me a boner. S.A.T.O is absolute riff-city. The title track starts with a beautiful guitar line, when the band kicks in they kick in HARD. Though he wasn't new to music this is still an impressive solo career effort.
R.I.P Ozzy.
I can see the vision, I love the tape collage feel though I do wish it flowed a bit smoother. The most musically intwresting section is definitely the last 3/4 of side A. For such a stripped back band and recording it still delivers the feeling I'm sure they were going for. Obviously compared to their later albums this is just an early demo and doesn't deliver the same experience, but that's a really high bar.

Decent but nothing that makes it stand out from this kind of Djent/Metalcore scene. Good riffs, makes me think of a cross between Slipknot and Periphery.
They might be a little one note, but they have this shit down. Angry, pounding music. When you're in the mood, nothing hits like this. Surprisingly the lyrics seem pretty well thought out.
Nice little garage rock EP. Nothing mould breaking but a thoroughly enjoyable listen. The final track, Biz Bag, gets extremely retro with some early 70s/late 60s style vocal harmonies and proto-punk garage rock feel.
Atmospheric, Depeche Mode flavoured, industrial. No one would ever have seen a black metal band end up making this kind of music. I like it quite a lot.
Meditative, hypnotic, avant-garde jazz. A nice calm listen if you're in the mood.
I had high hopes for this album but seeing them live crushed that for me. The show-tuney sound/chamber-pop shift they've made isn't what I got into BCNR for. Just not to my taste.
I appreciate the atmosphere he's going for but it's not for me. A few good songs but mostly stuff I just can't gel with.
I have loved this album since I first heard it 10 years ago. It never grows stale, maybe my view is skewed by nostalgia but I feel how I feel.
